The Span of His Fingers
Photographer Unknown, (The Span of His Fingers)
The span was used as a fixed measurement in ancient Greece since at least the Archaic period, which lasted from the eighth century BC to the second Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC. The word trispithamos, meaning three spans long, occurs as early as the eighth century BC in the Greek poet Hesiod’s work. The word spithame, meaning span, is verified in the work of Greek historian Herodotus of the 5th century BC.
A span is the distance measured by a human hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger. This measurement in ancient times was considered to be half a cubit. In English usage a span is equal to nine inches or 0.2286 meters. The old Portuguese customary unit referring to a span was the palm de craver, equivalent to eight polegadas or Portuguese inches.

The Peephole
Artist Unknown, Title Unknown, (The Peephole), Bara Illustration
“The night sky is only a sort of carbon paper,
Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars
Letting in the light, peephole after peephole—
A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things.”

“I will die. You will die. We will all die and the universe will carry on without care. All that we have is that shout into the wind – how we live. How we go. And how we stand before we fall.”

Topographical Map
Photographer Unknown, (Topographic Map)
“Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.”
